Just a quick FYI to all my reader babes out there: The King is now available for you to add to your Goodreads TBR! If all goes well and nothing horrific goes wrong, it will be available for purchase November 21st.
And as I mentioned, I’m hosting a cover reveal October 21st. If anyone needs blog content for that day, I’m happy to oblige!

I’ve noticed a few searches for The King’s release date, along with the occasional person asking when the follow-up to The Fool will be published. As always, I’ve got a countdown to my next release on the sidebar, and right now The King is next on the docket!
At the moment the manuscript is going through content editing, along with getting beta feedback from about 6 people. The due date for feedback is the first week of September, then I’ll need to implement the changes I think are necessary. After, it’ll need to go to a proofreader, then be revised a few more times.
My initial release date was October 31st. Now it’s November 20th. Depending on how much feedback I get and how many things I think I need to work on, I might push it to December 6th. If I was in perfect health, or even mildly good health, getting it out early would have been no problem. As it is, I’m still dealing with post-concussion syndrome on the daily. Headaches. Dizziness. All that fun stuff. It absolutely puts a dampener on how much work I can get done in a day.
ARCs will most likely go out once I’ve implemented my proofreader’s changes — because at that point it’s just me fiddling around with word choice and whatnot. I will make plenty of announcements for ARC sign-ups, and I’ll also be doing a blog tour for the release. Because I’ll be booking a bit late, I might have to reschedule the release because my usual tour organizer doesn’t have the date I want available. When will I ever learn to plan in advance?
Anyway. Just know it will be out before the end of the year. I’d love to get things moving faster, but I’m a one-woman show here with a brain who sometimes works with me, most times doesn’t.

Hi beauties!
Just wanted to make an ~*~*~*~*official~*~*~*~ post on my blog that I’ll be taking the next off from social media. A good planner would have gotten everything queued and ready to go by today, but here I am, as per usual, scrambling.
If you’ve been following me at all, you’ll know I’m concussed. I had a major setback recently that my aunt calls Overconfidence Syndrome. Basically I was so excited about being a functional person again that I personed too hard and set myself back a few weeks. Lots of vertigo and headaches. Computer time really sends me for a loop lately, so I figured it was best to just stay off social media, because it is 100% my biggest time-waster on the computer.
So, I’m going to queue all my stuff. I’ll be checking my accounts through my phone a few times a day in case someone needs anything (but srsly hiatus I promise), and then I’ll be back next week with my usual random, flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants tweeting.
I have a freelance project due this weekend, and then I owe it to myself to get The King finished ASAP because I’ve had to push its pub date AGAIN due to brain sadness.So, I’ll be around, steadily sending out author interview questions and trying not to get distracted when I do use the computer.
Until next week, guys and dolls.
